about

Pi is an experimental album about that mathematical constant. The project began as a programming extension to Mark Sheeky's self-developed music software, Prometheus, adding the capability to import music from text files. Mark decided to convert pi to base twelve (dodecimal) instead of the typical base ten (decimal), and play it in one octave on a chromatic scale, to see what it sounded like. Interestingly, the music does not sound like random notes and does appear to have a deeper structure.

All of the melodies and irregular timings on this album are representations of pi in different number bases. The music varies from slow calming tunes, to complex multi-layered melodies or tracks that represent other aspects of this remarkable number.

See track specific information for information about each track.
